MotoGP 2016

Interesting read....

Lorenzo on the Ducati is a complete unknown. The bike is better and better all the time, and without having seen JL ride anything but the Yamaha we can't predict how it will go.

Mibbee that smooth style of his is just what he does to get the best out of the Yamaha. Perhaps he's that good, that he will change that style to ride the Ducati to its best.

Rossi can't be discounted of course. He is a motorcycling God. We will likely never see anyone like him for a long long time. But to suggest he has a better shot next year than this, is unfounded as far as I'm concerned.

I agree, especially as Rossi will have a hungry young rider with 2 years motogp experience under his belt on the other best bike on the grid. Providing the balance stays in Yams favour that is.

I have a feeling the Duc as it stands could have won at least 2 races this year on pure merit, just the two pilots on board can't quite get it there. JL might dominate for all we know.

We tend to grant the predictions of the pundits more respect than they are due. Their picks are generally no more accurate than ours.
And mine are bloody terrible.

I'm very much doubting that'll happen. Be happy to see if he does though.

At least you haven't been backing Dani Pedrosa for a title for nearly 10 years lol. What does that say about me?

Though truth be told I think that Dani now signing with the Honda again means that there is no chance of a title for my homie. Sigh.

to talk in termso f the yamaha being the dominant force next year,whilst JL may struggle is overlooking two important things.
1)mm
2) Honda.They will produce a decent bike.Much face has been lost recently, without even considering the last 200 m in Italy

Yeah they stuffed up this year in not fixing their power delivery problem, it's somewhat optimistic to expect them to do it again.

And an off season with casey stoner and ecu boffins.maybe an error in not keeping cs on side

[BMWST?]

Or is development like that off limits now

Honda don't fix things like that they usually find an alien who can ride around the issues they create with their obstinate engineering ethos.

Don't forget that Honda simply don't value rider input. Riders get given a bike and if doesn't work for them they go elsewhere. Unless you're Dani Pedrosa.
